Sunday, Aug. 9: Bread of Life

by Trina Kleist

Feel like something’s missing? Jesus promises that, when you walk his Path, you’ll never be hungry again. What’s really amazing? The more you let Jesus feed you, the more you find that this world’s bread – the material things we think we’re hungry for – isn’t what fills you up. Eat with us here at […]

Sunday, Aug. 2: Believe – in Bread!

by Trina Kleist

“Welcome, Pastor Eileen!” Are you hungry? Food – physical and spiritual – comes to us from God’s abundant and lavish hands. Today’s Gospel reading likens Jesus, God’s Anointed One, to the manna that God miraculously sent to the nomadic Israelites each morning during the 40 years they wandered in the wilderness. Come to worship, where […]

by Trina Kleist

“Be filled with the fullness of God.” Leftovers always taste better, right? The flavors have gone through the food, and we look forward to getting some more of that good stuff.

Sunday, July 19: Good and bad shepherds

by Trina Kleist

“Herd or  Flock?” The Bible uses a lot of imagery involving sheep and shepherds, and we hear some of that today: Poor shepherds let the flock get scattered. Good shepherds lead and heal.

Sunday, July 12: Believe – and be chosen!

by Trina Kleist

Get blessed! When we believe in Jesus as the Son of God, God adopts us as his own children – He chooses us! Then, as God’s children, God lavishes upon us “every spiritual blessing,” St. Paul writes. One of the gifts we receive is the power of the Holy Spirit, who helps us follow the model of […]

Sunday, July 5: Believe – and go!

by Trina Kleist

“Where did this man get all this?” We hear how people were amazed by the teaching and healing Jesus did during his ministry. Then, Jesus sends out his chosen Twelve to also preach and heal all who believe that Jesus is God’s son. Today, we are those witnesses, and we are sent out to testify to […]

Sunday, June 28: Believe, and be healed!

Many first-century people would have found aspects of these stories shocking. “This guy Jesus heals outcasts!” There he goes again, shaking things up! Come to worship and see what […]
